YouTube Auto-Captions can hurt your video SEO

Auto-captions are usually only 60-70% accurate, meaning that 1 in 3 words is wrong. Because of this unreliability, auto-captions do not get indexed by Google or YouTube and do not improve SEO. The good news is that when you upload your own caption files, Google believes they are high quality and worthy of being indexed. Speech recognition software often gets things wrong because of accents, background noise, proper nouns, complex vocabulary, and the pace of a speaker.
